a 100-word horror story
A chapter in the book Short
Living

The mirror caught Doug's eye. His reflection proved the shotgun blast had not killed him. The gypsy's curse was still in force, and all his efforts to thwart it had failed.
He remembered hitting the gypsy wagon with his Stutz, as he had sped down the road. A dying victim cursed Doug to "Live!"
Now, trapped in an ancient body, aching with painful cancer, Doug had tried everything to die. Poisoning and stabbing had only hurt him.
Even this double-barreled shotgun blast to the head had failed.
Grumbling, Doug cleaned up the mess and retrieved his eyeball from the mirror.
